SHADE AND CURTAIN-BOLD HOLDER.

Application filed. December This invention relates to certain new anduseful improvements in shade and curtain rod l'xoid'ers and the primaryobject of the same is to provide a more simplified and economical holderand one which involves a Ilili'lllllllll'l of parts compactly assembledand of strong and durable form.

Still further the invention aims to provide a holder which is readilyadaptable vice miles with the corner of bay windows.-

Tn proceeding in accordance with the present lnventlon, a base member isemployed which consists of a metal plate 1 having its side edges curledor rolled to provide wings 2, the plate being secured to the windowframe by-fasteners S. The shade holder is formed of a resilient roddoubled upon itself to form an eye l to receive the shade pintle P andhas its ends bent to provide horizontal arms 5, the latter being offsetand formed with fingers 6 that extend at right angles to the arms. Thefingers 6 engage within the wings 2, and are of a substantial length toreceive firm support therefrom, and also due to the resilient nature ofthe rod, same are sprung into engagement with the wings 2. The holdersaccordingly are afforded a firm support and still can be easily andquickly slid along the length of the base to adjust the same.

The supports for the curtain rod 7 are formed of resilient rods doubledupon themselves at 8 and having divergent arms 9, the ends 10 of whichare bent downwardly and passed through registering perforations 11provided therefor in the wings 2 whereby the curtain holder receivessupport from each of the wings 2 as is also true in the instance of theshade holder. A plate 12 seats upon the doubled parts 8 of the rods and10', 1926; fierial No. 153,830.

with its doubled part 8, arms 9 and fingers 10, also are ofthe sameconstruction, but in this formof the invention two base plates 1areen'iployed and the fingers l0 areinsorted throughthe adjacentperforations 11 of the two base plates, so that but'one cur tain holde'is necessary for the two base plates, or otherwise stated such oneholder iscommon to each of the two base plates. In this form of theinvention,'however, a plate of the greater width is employed and whichhas perforated ears 21 secured to thedoubled part 8 of the rod asdescribed in connection with Figure 1. The increased width of the plateis to accommodate four posts Ql for supportof as many curtain rods. Fig.2 illustrates but two rods, one of fiat and the other of round form, but

this feature has nothing to do with the present invention.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that tworbase plates and'two shadeholders and but one curtain holder is necessary at the :angle ofadjacent windows, thus providing fewer parts and a more compactassembly.It is also to be noted that the wings serve not only to support theshade holder but the curtain holder as well.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is 1. In combination with supporting meanshaving spaced perforated wings, a curtain holder composed of a roddoubled upon itself and having its ends diverged to provide arms andhaving the latter bent downwardly to form fingers engaged in the perforation of each of the wings and a plate having a post thereon andhaving depending ears perforated to receive the doubled part of the rod.

2. In combination with supporting means having spaced perforated wings,a curtain holder composed of rod doubled upon itself and having its endsdiverged to provide arms and having the latter bent downwardly to formfingers engaged in the per foration of each of the wings, a post, andmeans to connect the post to the doubled part of the rod.

3. In combination with a pair of base plates having spaced perforatedwings and formed for attachment to angularly related Window frames, acurtain holder composed of a rod doubled upon itself and havingdivergent arms formed with depending tin-- iii gcrs for engagement inthe perforations of the wings of each or" the plates, a plate superposedon the doubled part of the rod and having depending ears perforated toreceive the doubled part, and posts on the plate.

t. In combination with a pair of base plates having spaced perforatedwings and formed for attachment to angularly related window frames, acurtain holder composed of a rod doubled upon itself and havingdivergent arms formed with depending fingers for engagement in theperforations of the wings of each of the. plates posts, and means tosecure the posts to the doubled part of the rod.

5. In combination with a pair of spaced independent base members formedfor attachment to angular-1y related window frames a curtain holdercommon to each of the members, and means to secure the holder to each ofthe members including spaced arms engaged with each of the base members.

6. In combination with a pair of base members formed for attachment toangularly related window frames. a curtain holder common to each of themembers having divergent arms and depending fingers, and means on themembers to receive the fingers.

7. In combination with a pair of base members formed for attachment toangularly related window frames a curtain holder common to each of themembers having divergent arms and depending fingers, and

upper and lower wings on the members perforated to receive the fingersso as to support ttlt'l] of the latter from two points.

In combination with a base plate having inwardlv extending spaced andperforated wings, a shade holder having arms formed with resilientlingers slidablv en gaged within the wings, and a curtain hold r havinga pair of arms provided with vertical lingers di posed in front of thebase piate and engaged through the perforations of each of the wingswhereby the latter support both holders.

9. In combination with a base plate having spaced opposed inwardlyextending wings, a shade holder having arms provided with expansiblehorizontal fingers sprung into the wings and slid-ably supportedtherein, said fingers being of a length whereby same are affordedhearings in the wings so as to support the holder -from the wings.

10. In combination with supporting means having OppoFQd wings eachprovided with a pair of registering perforations, a curtain holderhaving divergent arms each of which arms has :1 depending finger, saidfingers being engaged through the registering perforations of the wingsso as to be SlU )])0It'(,(l by each of the Wings.

In testin'iony whereof I have hereunto signed my name to thisspecification.
